Breeding habitat of Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus
histrionicus) was studied in eastern Prince William Sound,
Alaska, during 1991 - 1993. Streams in Prince William
Sound were surveyed for Harlequin ducks and monitored with
mist nets. Physical characteristics of 24 Harlequin
breeding streams were compared to those of 24 streams not
used...
The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was a major perturbation of nearshore habitats of Prince William Sound, a wintering area for harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus). This research was designed to evaluate harlequin duck population recovery from the oil spill from 1995 to 1998, using a demographic approach to assess both...
To understand the influence of selective harvesting on
the adaptive capacity of fish populations in changing
environments, a computer simulation model was developed. In
the model, hypothetical populations were composed of five
different life histories, which were genetically determined.
Each life history type had its own rate of survival and...
During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio
addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin. He devoted his career to
speaking out against the evils of America and felt it his duty to warn Americans
against the perpetrators of this evil. But after 1934, the tone...
Dedicated to recording, portraying, and indicting
the social inequities that he witnessed in nineteenth
century Victorian England, one of Charles Dickens' many
concerns was the roles assigned to women both in the

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the
narratives of Amy Dorrit and...
The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...
I compare the seasonal abundance variation, population dynamics, fecundity, egg hatching mechanism and success, and apostome ciliate parasites of the euphausiids Euphausia pac?fica and Thysanoessa spinfera from the Oregon coast, USA. Community structure and nearshore distributions were examined from bi-weekly oceanographic surveys (1970-1972). This region has a strong cross-shelf change...
The purpose of this investigation was to identify sources of
influence on one major growth trend for college students: the development
of autonomy. Specifically, the study focused on whether
change in autonomy in college freshmen was related to the background
of the students, their associations with peers, their contacts with...
The purpose of this research was to determine if there were
initial differences in selected dimensions of self-actualization, as
measured by the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI), between the
freshmen who selected co-educational residence halls and those who
selected single-sex residence halls; and to determine if the type
of residence hall...
